"I'm hoping by wearing a bikini they will see everything they need to see and we can avoid a pat-down"
Thousands of passengers are expected Wednesday at LAX, and one came prepared by leaving little to the imagination and TSA agents with even less to pat down. "I'm wearing my bikini," Corinne said as she unbuttoned her overcoat outside the terminal to reveal a black two-piece. "It's not that I'm concerned, it's that I feel like the TSA is making travelers feel uncomfortable, and I feel like we can have security measures that don't make people feel uncomfortable.
"Every time I go through security I always say, 'I don't even know why I got dressed this morning.' I end up taking off belts, jewelry and everthing else off anyway."
"I don't want to do a body scan, and I'm hoping by wearing a bikini they will see everything they need to see and we can avoid a pat-down, as well."
A loosely organized campaign by people opposed to the scanners has been encouraging travelers to opt-out of walking through the body scanners today as a protest of technology some consider overly invasive. But opting out of the scan means passengers will undergo time-consuming, thorough pat-downs by a Transportation Security Administration agent.
About 1.5 million people are expected to go through LAX during the Thanksgiving travel period that began last Friday and ends Sunday.
The body scan takes only about 10 seconds. Those who refuse the body scan are given the option of undergoing an open-palm, up the groin and between- the-breasts pat-down instead.
The mayor seemed ok with it.
"There's been a lot of ado about nothing," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said after going through a scanner earlier this week.
Also known as Advanced Imaging Technology, the refrigerator-sized body scanners hit passengers with low-level x-ray beams to generate an image of their body to detect weapons that might be hidden under their clothing. The image -- which resembles a chalk etching -- is then transmitted to a walled-off location and immediately deleted after being examined by security officers.
Pretty lady. Seems smart, too.
LOL Did you get the implied message in mine?That's probably what Esther Ruth would like to do to me. ;)
You really don’t have to lecture me about the women and children getting molested. I am a survivor, and I’m not offended by this thread. Sometimes a little diversion is necessary. The ability to laugh at the situation will help people get through the tough times ahead - at least it helps me on occasion to take a lighter look at things if it is at ALL possible... If you view it differently, and it offends you then don’t click the link — that’s what I do when I’m not at all interested in some of the threads here.
To each his own. However, the subject of this thread had nothing to do with children. If you doubt how I feel on THAT specific part of the FULL picture of this mess, then you should read some of my past posts on some of the other threads.
I, and a large number of other people posting on this thread ARE doing something to help the situation - we’re not wasting our time complaining about exaggerated and truly libelous accusations like the ones you have made towards the people posting on this thread. You really shouldn’t cast aspersions at your fellow human beings.
Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving.
I work with the military in a deployed location - if you were offended by comments like these guys are making, you wouldn't like that environment at all. ;-)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Thank you and same to you!
Esther; Esther; Esther.
This is a mans world,
But it’d be nuthing without women.
Have some fun. Girls are pretty, soft and smell wonderful.
We love them.
Make no mistake though, we have no intention of taking advantage of them. They are little treasures to light up the day and warm the spirit but they must be treated with respect, always guarding their pride and dignity and protected against miscreants or worse.
If God hadn’t intended for us to find joy in their beauty he would have made us different creatures.
You are a very sick man. /s
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I liked your post but then I read your “about” page and now I really admire you.
Thank you for showing up and making me aware of another beautiful woman.
Hope God blesses you, your family and friends with a beautiful Thanksgiving.
Hey Baby and Hottie with a gun!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you and your friends are celebrating over there and that God protects you and blesses you with a wonderful holiday and shared memories.
Thank you darlin’! Actually, I arrived in Houston on Monday for R&R, so I’m home for about three weeks!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
And then understand my dark, twisted pleasure.
MUAHAHAHAHAHA
Have an enjoyable and blessed THANKS-GIVING.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving, too.
Hi Allegra! This Thanksgiving I’m especially grateful for all of the brave men and women in our Military.
I am also so thankful for you Allegra, and all those like you helping to keep us safe. I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving. {{HUGS}}
Y’all might get a laugh out of this thread.
That’s Great!
Have a very happy time with your friends and family.
That is so true!
